You should now see this being installed as shown above.
You may also be prompted about installing from an untrusted repository. Select Yes to all to continue.
You should now see the Azure AD module being downloaded.

You’ll still need to login to your tenant using the standard get-credential command. However now you use the following:
connect-azuread
command to access Azure AD.

get-azureaddomain
as shown above to work with your cloud AD.
This new Azure AD module will the option to use going forward to work with your identities PowerShell for Office 365 because the older version 1 msonline will be depreciated at some stage.
